After Ye Li and Feng Jun walked back down the city in three steps, the officers and soldiers who had just retreated when the rebels attacked the city were also regrouped, divided into several small teams, and climbed onto the city wall to guard.
After a night's rest, the rebels who had been frustrated in the initial battle of the siege of the city rushed to the city wall with shouts in the early morning of the next day. This time, the rebels began to consciously avoid the section of the wall guarded by Fanyin Pavilion and others at the top of the city. , and killed towards the section guarded by the officers and soldiers.
Seeing this, Wang Su hurriedly ordered his subordinates to help the officers and soldiers, and he took the lead, holding a spear, and headed towards the most dangerous section of the city wall. Behind them, Yun Qi, Lei Hu, Dian Liang and others also rushed away, and the scene fell into a stalemate for a while. Fortunately, it's not raining today, and the strong bows and crossbows of the city defenders can be used more effectively. At the most critical moment at the top of the city, Lu Bin's captain led five hundred strong archers to arrive, and several rounds of intensive arrow rain drove back the rebels.
Today is the third day of guarding the city, and more and more people have gradually gathered at the east gate of Chengdu Prefecture. Because the rebels did not attack the city at the east gate in order to break the will of the officers and soldiers defending the city.
Most people at the east city gate were preparing to flee the city. The government was afraid of affecting the morale of the troops defending the city, so it closed the East City Gate from the beginning. Until today, some wealthy gentry in the city who knew the inside information came to the East City Gate one after another because they heard the news that the government should open the East City Gate today. The door is closed.
Ye Li and Feng Jun also led hundreds of people from Fanyin Pavilion to gather at the east gate, waiting for the moment to open and let people in. Seeing many officials and gentry discussing this escape route in front of him, Ye Li felt very angry. It was these people who had left a way out early, which led to the Chengdu Mansion having no way out.
Thinking of this, he looked towards the west gate, his face full of sorrow and indignation, and knelt down to the west gate and kowtowed three times. Feng Jun on the side also bit his lips tightly, with a sad look in his eyes.
On the wall of the west city, Wang Su seemed to sense something. He glanced at the east gate. Although it was more than twenty miles away, looking at the dusty sky to the east, he knew that the east gate was about to be opened. . He took a deep breath, looked at the rebel siege troops swarming under the city wall, and then looked at the people behind him. He laughed loudly and said, "Will you all die with me?"
Everyone was also infected by Wang Su's heroic laughter, and everyone was excited. Because all the family members had arranged their lives and had nothing to worry about, they all said loudly: "I swear to follow the Pavilion Master to the death, and we will live and die together!"
"Okay! I'm so lucky to be able to kill the enemy bandits and fight the national disaster together with you today. Follow me and kill..." Wang Su's beard and hair were spread out, his face became a little rosy due to excitement, and the injuries all over his body seemed to have disappeared. , Sure enough, for a warrior, the best medicine is to return to the battlefield again.
After fighting fiercely for half a day, as dusk approached, just after Wang Su led his men, officers and soldiers to defeat the rebel siege again, bad news came from the South City Gate that the South City Gate had fallen.
After the news spread, the officers and soldiers guarding the city collapsed first and began to flee, looking for a way out of the city. Wang Suze let out a long sigh, knowing that this moment would come sooner or later. He calmly said to his subordinates: "The last moment has come. Let's go on the road. Don't be afraid. I am with you..." After saying that, everyone went down to the city and opened the city gate. Wang Su took the lead and rushed towards the rebels. Grand Formation...
The afterglow of the setting sun shone lightly on the city wall. The sun in the sky seemed to be tired of watching the ants fighting each other and began to turn elsewhere. The blood-like setting sun reflected in the sky, as if to set off the red color of the earth. On October 16, the fourth year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty, Chengdu fell.
Along with the destruction of the city came the city-wide manhunt and massacre. Later historical records recorded that during this siege, more than a thousand members of the Fanyin Pavilion represented by Wang Su made a desperate charge at the last moment, causing huge casualties to the rebels. The rebel leader Li Shun became angry and extinguished the resistance after paying heavy casualties.
Li Shun ordered his men to cut off the heads of Wang Su and several hall masters and hang them on the city gate to vent his anger. In fact, some thoughtful people understood that the main reason why Li Shun was so angry this time was because he did not break the city first, but Chu Lihan and Huo Ji who attacked the south gate were the first to break the city. He discussed the plan with Xianggui, Crushed ruthlessly.
The manhunt in the city did not last for a few days, because most of the officers, soldiers and wealthy gentry fled out of the city. In addition to those who died in the battle in Fanyin Pavilion, most of the old, weak, women and children had already fled out of the city with Ye Li. Li Shun had nowhere to vent his anger and announced that he would not seal the sword for three days. As a result, Chengdu, known as the "Land of Abundance", was enveloped in a bloody storm...
Zhang Yu, Chu Lihan and others were shocked when they heard the news. They didn't understand why Li Shun was so angry, because since Wang Xiaobo led the rebel army to capture the city for the first time, he had issued a military order not to kill anyone if the city was broken. After capturing the famous city of Chengdu for the first time, Li Shun went on a killing spree.
On the other hand, Huo Ji on the side thought for a moment after hearing the news, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said to Zhang Yu and Chu Lihan: "It's just because the South City Gate was breached first, not the West City Gate..." Huo Ji stopped here and did not continue.
The two of them had a look of understanding after being told the truth, and then they frowned and remained silent. Seeing this, Huo Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Since ancient times, great achievements have been incomparable to the master. Now, there is only one way."
"What can we do?" the two asked.
"Be king and establish a career." Huo Ji said decisively.
In the fourth year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty, on October 25th, the rebel leader Li Shun established the Shu regime in Chengdu. The year coincided with the year. Wu Yun was appointed as Zhongshu Ling, Ji Ci, and Wu Wenshang were appointed as privy envoys. He also sent four troops He went out and captured prefectures and counties, reaching Jianzhou in the north and Kui Gorge in the east, and controlled most of the Sichuan Gorge area.
On Chengdu North Road, the road south of Jianmen, the troops led by Dou Shengxing and Li Taotao were on their way to Jianmen Pass. The news that Li Shun was proclaimed king in Chengdu Mansion greatly boosted the morale of the army, and Dou Shengxing also took advantage of this to encourage him. With military morale, he rushed to Jianmen Pass quickly. He wanted to capture Jianmen Pass as a gift to the new king as he ascended the throne.
News of the fall of Chengdu also reached Jianmen Pass. Shangguan Zheng, the guard of Jianmen Pass, was shocked when he heard the news. Although he had expected that the rebels would desperately attack the city, he did not expect that Nuoda's Chengdu Mansion would fall so quickly. . As a result, everyone's determination to guard Jianmen Pass also wavered.
Because the imperial court's initial plan was for the Chengdu garrison to defend until the imperial army entered Shu, and then to engage in a flanking attack with the Chengdu garrison and defeat the rebels inside and outside. However, the premature fall of Chengdu has disrupted the entire plan. Shangguan Zheng understands that after the fall of Chengdu, the next target of the rebels is Jianmen Pass. If Jianmen Pass is lost, then the entire Shu region will basically be Li Shun's world.
Different from Shangguan Zheng's sad mood after hearing the news, when Yang Yunfan heard the news that the city of Chengdu was destroyed and Wang Su led the Fanyin Pavilion gang to die in battle outside the city, it was like five thunders struck his head. He staggered to the city wall. With tears streaming down his clothes, he knelt down towards the Chengdu Mansion in the south and kowtowed three times.
Wang Su's death represents the end of an era. Those people with stunning talents, bright clothes and angry horses are disappearing one by one. However, talented people emerge from generation to generation, and while heroes age, there are also young people. The heroes fought vertically and horizontally, scolding Fang Qiu.
